About this book

Michael Alexander has spent years analyzing historical stock market data for cyclical patterns. Using a scholarly approach, he has carefully examined the works of historians, economists and market strategists to identify the cycles that drive the markets. After much analysis, he recommended that investors get out of the stock market in 2000. His timing was right on. But now what do you do with your money in these uncertain times?

In Retiring Rich: The Ultimate IRA and 401(k) Investing Strategy, Michael Alexander explains your options for long-term gains by identifying where we are in a stock cycle. You won't have to become a day trader or a stock-picking expert. All it takes are some easy steps to understand dynamic asset allocation strategies that will strengthen your retirement portfolio. You'll learn where to invest in a down stock market - whether it's index funds, mutual funds, cash or commodities - and when to get back into stocks.

Michael A. Alexander, PhD, is a research engineer at Pfizer Inc. He has had a lifelong interest in economic and stock market history. His first book, Stock Cycles, is the result of five years of historical research and economic analysis. His second book, The Kondratiev Cycle, explains what the rhythms of history tell us about our past and future. Originally from Milwaukee, Wisconsin he now lives with his wife and two children in Michigan.
